America is addicted to plastic! Now it's even showing up in coin rolls and bags.

Plastic pennies sell for more then copper pennies, plus they melt easier.

Post all your plastic coin finds here.

HCBTT will have the most I'm guessing. This thread is a little bit of a joke... but hey great response and quick! Realcent members love to track stuff.

What do you mean by "plastic penny?" I mean, it's kind of self-explanatory, but I picture the small "gold" colored ones that come in packs of children's play money. Is this what you're all referring to? Some one "accidentally" put a fake plastic coin in a roll? Or are we talking mint error coins? THAT would be weird...

As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?

I found about 3 or 4 this year. One was really wierd, stamped 1984 but did not say play or replica or anything. Looked like a perfect plastic penny.

The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Hag 2:8 [/b]He created it. He controls it. He gave it to us for His use. Why did we turn from sound scriptural currency that PROTECTS us?

Plastic money is also made for training bank tellers, casino employees etc. You can order your own plastic pennies for $3.49 per 100 at You must be logged in to see this link. So the melt on a plastic penny is more then the melt value for a copper penny.

I should find out where hoard lives and dump a couple thousand into his penny stream. Of course he might retaliate by dumping a few tons of zinc in mine.

Found 1 plastic Canada 1 Cent with maple twigs. Face has a stylize queen and the words "School Money". Canadian plastic money has to be rarer then American plastic money!

I also found a plastic token with various Christian sayings on it.

Who is buying for 2.5c each. I have found about a dozen, mostly silver/grey plastic ones and a few coppery colored. My boy has also has a cash register gift that came with plastic which he promptly dumped and now is loaded with all denom coins P N D Q H D Ike plus paper.

So your boy dumped all his plastic money into circulation - that explains this thread LOL.

If you look up a few posts you can see where I posted a link to a site selling them for 3.49 cents each.

HCBTT might have it right we could collect plastic by date and mint marks.

I found one the other day. A 2003 one too. The CWRs it came from were all missing one cent each too. After the eighth roll having 49 cents in it, I thought, geez, how could they justify a plastic penny too? Are people hard up for money that they would shortchange a bank a penny per roll? I guess that is an automatic 2% yield on your money. Maybe they figure they could do something like that and nobody would notice?

LOL, on the double die comment eariler. I found a plastic one last year. I like finding the odd ball stuff in the mix. It is neat to find stamped coins as well and the various world coins. I really like the starfish penny from the Bahamas.
